Chapter 54: Headless Corpse
The old fortune teller looked down and counted the money he had earned today.
Before he arrived, he had a small half-bag, and the corners of his mouth grinned.
"Hey, it's going to be late, are you scared?"
"That little doll is really right."
The melon farmer couldn't help but joke at the fake old way of the smiling chicken thief.
"You believe what a child says nonsense!"
The fake old man who was disturbed glanced at the melon farmer dissatisfied, and he put away the silver and hid it in the placket.
"Not necessarily."
The melon farmer became interested and said funny, "This child's words are the words of the heavens, and I heard that the younger the better." ”
"The old people say that this is when people in their previous lives were reincarnated, they still had a little yin energy on their bodies, and they could see some things that ordinary people couldn't see."
"Perhaps, that young lady just now really saw that your Yin Tang was black, and kindly came to remind you."
"Go, go, go! I still ......"
The old fortune teller was just about to say a few words, when he suddenly saw a scholar who seemed to be looking at his stall, and after a few glances, he slowly walked over.
Naturally, the old farmer who sold melons also noticed the guests who came to the door.
He hurriedly shouted out, "Come and take a look, sweet and juicy summer melon!" ”
With the shouting and shouting, this row of stalls was filled with people in a short time.
Soon, the fake old man and the melon farmer forgot about the previous episode.
Both of them were busy greeting guests.
Suddenly, a cool wind blew, making the hot air a little cooler.
The old farmer, who was busy selecting summer melons for the guests, suddenly fell a red melon in front of him.
I thought it was a naughty child who picked up his melon and broke it while he wasn't paying attention.
At a glance, where is this summer melon, it is clearly a bloody human head!
The whole person under the old peasant sat down in the melon stall, his face was pale and trembling, and he couldn't say a word after looking at the human head stuck for a long time.
This man, he knows!
It's the fortune-telling old man in the stall next door!
"Ah——!h
The customers gathered in front of the stall were also frightened by the heads falling from the sky, and fled in all directions.
Several of the women fainted in fright.
"Ah——!!h
Another scream came from a nearby fortune-telling booth.
The scholar who was telling fortunes didn't react at all when the fake old Taoist head split up.
It wasn't until the blood spurted from the other party's headless neck that it was hot and hit him all over his face, that he screamed sluggishly.
The vendors and pedestrians were frightened and screamed by the sudden scene.
The crowd began to flee in all directions in a panic, crowded and trampled on people, and it was chaotic for a while.
Only the headless corpse fell quietly on the fortune-telling table.
The blood flowed out slowly, soaking a table of gossip scriptures and the few taels of silver in his body's arms.
……
"Brother Xiaojiu, Aunt Wu's scallion pancakes are the most delicious in Fengcheng, you must try them!"
Su Qingtian stood by the stove obediently, stretching her neck to look at Aunt Wu's fried scallion pancakes.
The aroma rushed in bursts, and the little girl couldn't hold her saliva when she saw it.
Xiao Nan listened to her sweet sister's words, and couldn't help but try to smell the fragrance wafting in the air.
Really, it smells so good......
Xiao Nan originally didn't have much interest in eating, he felt that practicing martial arts and strengthening his body was the first priority.
Since I have a sweet sister, I also know that my sister's favorite two things - eat delicious food and sleep comfortably.
He also began to pay attention to what was delicious and fun in Fengcheng, and wanted to bring it all to Su Qingtian.
A few pedestrians suddenly hurried past in front of the stall, and something seemed to have happened on the other side of the street, which made Aunt Wu, who was frying cakes, look up.
I saw many pedestrians hurrying towards this side, and some diners who were originally eating in front of them also put down their food and got up to flee.
Lu Wuming immediately guarded his sword at his side, protecting Su Qingtian and Xiao Nan in his arms.
This alley is not wide, and he is afraid that there will be too many people in the commotion for a while, and he will scatter or bump into the two little masters.
Aunt Wu's subordinates neatly put the fried scallion pancakes in a paper bag and handed them to Su Qingtian lightly.
"The little girl takes it well, it's a little hot."
Su Qingtian nodded, and gave it to Xiao Nan first, and waited obediently for the next one to come out of the pot.
Xiao Nan happily took the "first" scallion pancake given to him by his sweet sister, and he was bubbling with happiness!
The scallion pancakes are delicious, and the stall is naturally famous.
The stall was originally run by Aunt Wu and her husband.
At this time, her man had not returned from shopping, so she was very busy at the stall alone.
When the third scallion pancake was put into the pot, a strong man carrying two sacks and carrying a back basket walked into the back of the stall, and he was the husband of Aunt Wu.
Placing everything on the ground, the man takes out a pot of leavened dough from the back basket.
"What's going on over there?"
Aunt Wu asked in a curious low voice while making room for her husband to take over.
"It's like a dead person."
The strong man didn't want to scare away the guests, and his voice was extremely low.
"The officials are here, and they are searching a large area."
These words frightened Aunt Wu's face, and the scallion pancakes under her hand trembled, almost falling out of the pot.
"What?!"
Busy fiddling with the oil cakes that had not yet been fried, Aunt Wu was a little uneasy.
"The case of Wang Liu's murder of her husband has just ended, why is this another death?"
"The boundary of Dongfang City has been too evil recently, why is there a big murder every few days."
"Ahem......"
The strong man coughed, meaning to let his daughter-in-law speak carefully.
pursed her lips, Aunt Wu reversed the fried golden scallion pancake and continued to ask.
"Who is the dead, did you see it when you came?"
"Who's to look at that bad thing!"
The strong man glared at his daughter-in-law dissatisfied, kneading the dough and dividing the dough while bowing his head and saying, "It was said that an old fortune teller died." ”
"I heard that this old man was divining people when he died, and then his head fell off his body......"
"Huh?!"
Aunt Wu twitched in fright, and the strong man hurriedly waved his hand for fear of scaring his daughter-in-law.
"Don't talk about it, you're afraid of this, and I won't tell you anything in the future!"
Aunt Wu, who was frightened, also quieted down and made cakes.
The chattering words of the couple made Lu Wuming and Xiao Jiu stunned.
I looked up at the sky, and it was just past ......
The eyes of the two fell on Su Qingtian's body in unison.
She was busy reaching out to take the last scallion pancake from Aunt Wu's hand.
The big round eyes were full of scallion pancakes, and a drop of saliva from the corner of his mouth was about to flow out.
The hot cake tossed back and forth in her white and delicate little hands a few times, and she refused to let go.
The little girl puffed up her cheeks and blew hard, seeing that the oil cake had receded a little, and hurriedly opened her mouth to bite the first bite that she had been waiting for a long time.
Not~~~
It smells so good......
Su Qingtian tasted the long-awaited food with a happy face.
"There's a sugar gourd over there!"
Xiao Nan's sharp eyes saw a string of red fluttering sugar gourds, pointed at Su Qingtian and asked, "Sister Tiantian, do you want to eat it?" Brother Nan bought it for you. ”
"Nope."
Who knew that the little girl shook her head directly and refused, "The hour is almost up, we should go home." ”
Xiao Nan completely ignored the time in Su Qingtian's mouth, and nodded directly in agreement.
As long as you're with your sweet sister, you can go anywhere.
